Valentine’s Day approaches and I wrote this track with love on the mind. It’s the first track that features me singing, something I hope to do more of in the future. It’s not a dance floor banger by any means but I have closed my set with it a few times. And it’s perfect for those romantic evenings at home with your lover.

CMC & Silenta introduced me to Pharrell’s new 24 hour video project. As soon as I heard the track, I knew it had to become a Drum n Bass monster. A few hours later, this happened. A few days later, it was featured on the Dixon Brother’s Radio Show on KISS FM.

From the vaults, here’s a mashup of sorts I made for the Rock Pit Stage at Shambhala way back in the day. I’ve had so many people ask me about this track, from hearing it in my live shows or from Back to the Bass Kicks III so I asked Adam3 to draw up some fancy art work and boom – we have some pure unapologetic metal mayhem.

Here’s a collection of acapellas from some of the tunes I’ve released on Bombastic Jam over the last few years. You are free to use any of these in your own tunes as long as you follow the guidelines of the Creative Commons License that this pack is released under (i.e. give out the tunes for free and don’t make any money). If you end up creating something truly dope, please send it to me or post it on my Facebook Fanpage. If you want to use one of the acapellas in a tune that you wish to sell or license, please get in touch with me for permission. In the new year, we’ll take the best remixes and put out a big fancy release on Bombastic Jam.

Riding home from the Shambhala Music Festival a few years ago, Dash from the Root Sellers came up with the concept for this track – calling upon the audience to put in their earplugs so we can all keep hearing the music. When we got home, we recorded the track and debuted it at the opening of Shambhala 2012. It’s been a staple in my set ever since and will probably continue to get dropped for years to come.

Big shouts to Captain Planet for letting us take his original beat and shift it into the piece you hear now.

A year in the making, here’s the next instalment of the “Back to the Bass Kicks” series – featuring loads of my original tunes, remixes and tracks I’ve worked on with producer friends from around the globe. It starts with the Hip-Hop style of funk, heads into banger-ville and then ends back with the Funk. Huge thanks to everyone I’ve worked with, all the fans who’ve come out to shows and all the promoters who’ve had me come to perform at their events. We’re keeping the Funk alive!

* A MiniBomb is a a concept I’ve been playing with for the last year. Each MiniBomb is in the same key and tempo and is very short (i.e. not a complete song, just a build-up and drop). They’re useful for making interesting DJ mixes where you simply alter the order of bombs to make new remixes. I’ve been working in the 6A key but I’d like to have MiniBombs for every key eventually. If you like this idea and want to get involved in building a MiniBomb library, get in touch. When we get enough, we can release a library of tiny tunes.
